Even though the construction management (CM) system was introduced for the purpose of increasing the efficiency of the domestic construction industry along with the establishment of construction industry fundamental laws in December of 1996, now it is very difficult that the public institutions can judge their application of construction management methods due to the lack of clear guidelines or directions to select construction management methods when the public institutions were executing public construction projects. Therefore, this study was executed to prepare for the selection criteria which could be referred in reviewing the application of construction management ordering methods according to public institution's competences and project characteristics. It is expected that future domestic demand of construction management will be gradually increasing both in public and private construction sectors. However under the current construction management systems, it is judged to be difficult that the construction projects that apply the construction management methods will be activated with full-scale. Therefore, it could be said that active efforts in domestic sectors are required in order that the construction management systems of developed countries levels could be activated. Additionally in order to vitalize the construction management systems, it is expected that public institutions could use this study results as the review data for feasibility of construction projects for the consignment of construction management in selecting the ordering methods.

The project management information system (PMIS) has recently been developed by using the information technology(IT) in order to implement advanced information management technology to construction industry in Korea. The PMIS has been applied not only to domestic construction projects, but also to some overseas projects executed by Korean construction companies. This study was performed to develop the PMIS that is tailored to the US construction IT market. It has been monopolized by the US-based IT companies, but other companies are recently emerging with competitive technology and market strategy. As a preceding study, existing commercially available systems were analyzed, and the required features of the PMIS were identified by analyzing the core elements of contract, process and cost management about construction projects in the US. Then, the PMIS was developed based on the aforementioned analysis results. The system includes the document management module with an internal electronic approval system, the cost-plus-based automatic labor cost calculation module, and the progress management module to support the integrated project cost management. In addition, the functionality of the developed system was verified by experts about construction management in the US via questionnaire survey. The developed PMIS, in this study, is expected to be applied not only to the US construction IT market as a system specialized for the US construction industry, but also to other oversea markets in the future.

The Construction Project Information System(CPIS), an information system constructed as part of the Construction Continuous Acquisition & Life-cycle Support(CALS) of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport(MOLIT), is designed to digitize construction projects across all stages, and enable sharing of information so as to enhance the productivity and efficiency of construction projects and secure their transparent administration. One of MOLIT's internal work systems, CPIS focuses on work-handling and data management. However, now over 10 years old after its construction, it focuses on text and document-based construction project information, but it cannot be interfaced with the visualization-based GIS, which limits the sharing and dissemination of information and the determination of the overall construction project status. To resolve the existing CPIS limitations and problems and to upgrade the system, this study examined domestic and overseas GIS technology trends and relevant information systems, and analyzed the CPIS status and problems. It thus proposed total GIS application measures to upgrade CPIS. Also, it identified detailed CPIS utilization measures and GIS application measures by unit system, and analyzed considerations for GIS application.

Recently, the off-line processes in the construction industry are being changed to the electronic processes by several information technology (IT) tools including CALS. To improve the business processes to on-line processes, the business process reengineering (BPR) is a representative methodology for reviewing unnecessary and additional processes from the established business procedure. This study suggests a new process modeling method for construction BPR (CBPR) that consists of object-related process model (ORPM). In suggested modeling method, the connection with IT tools such as Workflow, enterprise resource planning (ERP), construction CALS, and business breakdown structure (BBS) was considered. The ORPM in the study is the main model for representing the detailed construction processes. It consists of nine relationship and six diagrams to represent the relationship between construction activities and the direction within the process model. Those models suggested from this study can be a useful tool for the CBPR because the researches and the practical applications related to the BPR of construction project are insufficient in our construction industry.

Recently, as smart construction has become more active, construction companys are evaluating their smart construction capabilities in order to transform into smart construction companies. However, the revitalization of smart construction doesn't only apply to construction companies, the level of utilization of all participants, including owners, designers, construction project managers, and construction company, must be improved. Therefore, this study aims to present a model that evaluate the building information modeling (BIM) utilization level for measuring the BIM utilization level of construction management companies in executing construction project management. In this study, an AHP questionnaire survey targeting BIM practitioners to calculate the weight of each BIM utilization item and score it to construct evaluation model and evaluate it by applying it to construction management companies are conducted. As a result of the evaluation using model, there were differences between companies in the number of BIM users, and in the qualitative evaluation, it is mainly used for interference review, constructability review, and design change management. Therefore, in order to revitalize BIM, it is believed that it is necessary to strengthen BIM utilization ability through separate training for construction manager (CMr) and to present clear utilization standards and scope of work for BIM utilization in performing construction management tasks. Consequently, evaluating more construction management companies using the model presented in this study will result in the transition of CM companies to smart construction and revitalization of BIM adoption.

It is a fact that we are yet to recognize and sense the U-City even though the business of U-City construction has been started many years ago. One of the causes is that UCity was thoughtlessly developed in the industry-centered environment for a tangible achievement, despite of need on more systematic development and organized management. Fortunately, it is expected that the most part of the situation will be solved, since "laws on the construction of the ubiquitous city" for planning, construction and management has been promulgated on March, and U-City project will be systematically promoted by the related laws from now. Therefore, intention of this study is the sustainable development of the U-City by analyzing the previous process and problems of the U-City Construction project of local governments and reengineering U-City construction project process in accordance with new laws, using the BPR methodology.
